Move-In Condition
The term Move-In Condition refers to an available commercial space within a given property that is empty and ready for immediate occupancy.
Such spaces can range from a plain vanilla box to a fully built out architecturally designed office space with all the trim and trappings.
A property must comply with all requirements by any governing municipality for a habitable dwelling. Requirements for habitable dwellings are operable plumbing, windows, electricity, and lockable doors. The requirements vary from place to place and available at the designated city department.
Office Space Categories:
▪ Built-Out: There are existing tenant improvements allowing immediate occupancy by a tenant.
▪ Move-In: Allows tenants to occupy the space without any modifications and considered built-out.
▪ Shell: Typically not built-out and unimproved prior to occupancy. The space is newly completed and never occupied by a tenant.

Closet or Server Room to each workstation or desk – commonly these ports offer both voice & data over a CAT 5 or 6 line – in some instances these maybe separate; now a days normally 1 to 3 ports are allotted to each desk…
▪ Remodeled: This space feature indicates that the unit or property has been fully constructed towards a superior aesthetic; moreover there could be improvements made to the underlying infrastructure as well – understand though that each space is handled on a individual basis so standards may differ.
